Leaving Tianyou Pharmaceutical and Health Care Company, the young genius beauty Kang Luoying sat in the front passenger seat, her beautiful eyes full of shock. Her mind was haunted by Shen Qiang's long, black blade.

The blade spirit was very beautiful.

But Kang Luoying didn't care; what truly stunned her was that her Qingyun Sword only returned to normal after Shen Qiang put the blade away.

This was horrifying. It meant that if Kang Luoying had to face Shen Qiang as an enemy, controlling her weapon would be difficult.

For a giant sword fighter like her, it was a disaster.

She stared blankly for a while, then said from the passenger seat, "What's its name?"

"Taiyin Youying."

Shen Qiang replied casually.

Kang Luoying hesitated and said, "Taiyin Youying, the name sounds odd. Why not give such a dominating blade a more formidable name?"

Shen Qiang was surprised, then laughed, "A more formidable name? What kind of name do you think sounds strong enough? Battle Heaven, Fight Earth, Slash Air? Let's just call it Taiyin Youying, because that's its given name."

Not realizing Shen Qiang was referring to the blade spirit, Kang Luoying said helplessly, "It feels very ordinary. The name is too soft and doesn't match its dominance. Hm, call it the Domineering Blade Taiyin Youying, that's much better."

Shen Qiang sighed, "It doesn't matter. Whether it's formidable or not has nothing to do with its name. Take your Qingyun Sword as an example; its name is quite plain, but who can say it's not strong enough?"

Kang Luoying was silent.

The next day was the day to set off to the neighboring province to attend the Artifact Exhibition.

So Shen Qiang got up early.

The number of people accompanying Shen Qiang this time wasn't large.

Led by Shen Qiang, the main team included the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Jing Xiangwei, and Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who had just acquired magical treasures.

Besides these three.

From the demon cultivation magical treasures he purchased from Wan Xin Sheng He and Cheng Xinyi, Shen Qiang carefully selected one of decent quality and gave it to Ji Wei. So, along with Shen Qiang's Black Blade Taiyin Youying, Sheng He prepared five magical treasures for the exhibition.

Because that was more than sufficient.

Aside from them, Kang Luoying and Zuo Lianghao were accompanying.

Because Shen Qiang was decisive, after all, it's just an exhibition; let them each return to their own homes and take the opportunity to have some fun.

Besides them, only the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang was with the team.

As for other choices, since some things needed to be done less openly, they naturally couldn't swagger along with Shen Qiang and the others.

So other arrangements were made.

The group wasn't large.

Totaling less than ten people, Shen Qiang didn't plan to bring extra escorts. Although bringing more people might seem more imposing, there was another purpose for going to Baihua Palace's exhibition, and bringing too many would be too conspicuous, which wouldn't be good.

Moreover, although it was the neighboring province's provincial city, the actual distance was only over three hundred seventy kilometers. For cultivators at and above the Mixed Element Realm, traveling with full force would only take about an hour.

If Baihua Palace intended to host an ambush, it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, Shen Qiang had the Plague Source; if pushed, who knows who would kill whom.

Furthermore, besides these visible people, two other teams had already quietly gone to Baihua Palace.

In the event of an emergency, manpower wouldn't be an issue.

Before departure.

Shen Qiang checked his personal space once again.

After entering the Yang God Realm, his personal space hadn't increased, but his Divine Sense range was larger.

Aside from this.

What genuinely delighted Shen Qiang was that, with his upgrade, the Plague Source had produced new leaves.

Furthermore.

Most notably, with the upgrade, the number of flying knives Shen Qiang could synchronize had increased from three thousand to six thousand, doubling entirely.

This meant Shen Qiang's previous judgment was correct; Zuo Lianghao's Grave of Ten Thousand Swords didn't mean much to Shen Qiang. In the Yang God Realm, controlling six thousand flying knives was possible, and once Shen Qiang's cultivation reached the Mixed Element Realm, he might control over ten thousand knives.

After tidying up everything, it was already past nine in the morning.

With three vehicles, the group set off simply for Baihua Palace in the neighboring province.

On the road.

The group chatted idly.

At this time in the car, there wasn't anything entertaining available.

Bored, Shen Qiang just took out his phone to go online.

Logging into the Immortal Realm website.

He immediately saw in the Jianghu grudges section that many people discussed Baihua Palace's Artifact Exhibition.

Shen Qiang casually read some posts.

After looking at several high-level comments on forums, he frowned.

"This time, Baihua Palace's Artifact Exhibition is clearly aimed at Sheng He. They chose to pressure Sheng He in its weakest domain because everyone knows that a cultivation sect lacking over a century of heritage will struggle to possess precious magical treasures."

"Especially those extremely powerful magical treasures, which can't be bought even with wealth. How long has Sheng He been established? What can Shen Qiang use to compete with sects that have stood for hundreds or thousands of years? Agreeing to participate in the Artifact Exhibition is Shen Qiang's biggest misjudgment."

"Exactly! Shen Qiang's attitude seems to be swelling. Maybe he thinks having a few decent magic artifacts in Sheng He is incredible, but in the eyes of truly prestigious sects, magic artifacts aren't even worthy of exhibition."

"Yes, participating in the Artifact Exhibition requires owning at least three immortal artifacts; otherwise, you can't even cross the entry threshold. So Sheng He is bound to embarrass itself by going."

"Actually, Sheng He is quite powerful, especially in elixir pills or dealing with demons. Sheng He excels to a frightening extent. But unfortunately, Shen Qiang is still too naive, using his weakest aspect to compete with Baihua Palace's thousand-year-old tradition in magical treasures. It's simply like hitting a rock with an egg."

"Hahaha, Shen Qiang is truly daring. For a small sect like Sheng He, which was just established, it's fine to fool around in a small area in the provincial city. But going to the exhibition, you don't have to guess. I know he'll surely be terrified by Baihua Palace's magical treasures, scared pale and wetting his pants."

"Yes, a small loose cultivator like Shen Qiang, leading a group of poor demons, hasn't seen proper magical treasures. So I bet that upon reaching Baihua Palace, Shen Qiang will immediately kneel, unable even to present three immortal-level magical treasures."

"Three immortal artifacts? Hahaha, that's hilarious. You're overestimating Shen Qiang. I say Sheng He can't present even one, and then they'll just watch other sects flaunt from the sidelines."
